Fairing and fairingless enclosures for two-, three-, and four-wheel automotive vehicles/riders/passengers/loads (FFE)

Abstract

An airbag and environmental enclosure for automotive vehicle(s), rider(s), passenger(s), and loads is equipped with airbag systems which provide greatly increased safety and protection of the automotive vehicle(s), rider(s), passenger(s), and load(s) in collisions and accidents. The enclosure is equipped with temperature and environmental control systems which provide protection against and comfort in undesirable, uncomfortable, or extreme weather conditions including (but not limited to) extreme cold, heat, sunshine, or poor air quality. The enclosure is equipped with or made of material which allows or deters varying forms of light or energy in or out of or through the enclosure. The enclosure may also be made of non-shattering material (i.e. for protection and safety in cases of collisions and accidents and objects striking the enclosure). The enclosure also includes different types of communication systems made on or about the enclosure including (but not limited to) sight, sound, and `physical sensation` related communication systems or devices. The enclosure provides the rider(s) and/or passenger(s) with varying degrees of "luxury and comfort".

I claim: 
     
       1.
